The '''marine crystal''' split from its ancestor, the [[Shallows Crystal|shallows crystal]]. They have re-adapted to to the salty water of the salt lake and coastline. They have also grown to twice their ancestors size. Like their ancestor, they are made of a hard photosynthetic chitin which has tiny holes in them, these holes let in water and organic matter. Inside the red fungi-like interior consumes the organic matter. This same fungi-like material also makes up the "roots" of the marine crystal and it can absorb needed nutrients and minerals from the soil. The same holes that let in food also let out tiny spores which float into the water and grow into new marine crystals. It has retained it's ancestor's mild poison which is used to deter any herbivores who are not immune against it from eating it.
